Masahiro Tanaka will oppose AL Cy Young Award contender Dallas Keuchel for the right to take on the defending AL champion Kansas City Royals in the ALDS.

Girardi will carry nine pitchers. This is a little surprising considering he might have been able to get away with just eight.
Speedster Rico Noel did make the cut, as did super catching prospect Gary Sanchez.
Stay tuned for the lineup. First pitch comes your way at 8 PM ET from Yankee Stadium.
Game day. @astros vs @Yankees.
Let's get it on.
